More than 300 students applied to be on 2018-19 Minister’s Youth Council and two students from the Fort McMurray Public School District have been selected, Jeremy Christopherson and Krish Shah.
Being a council member gives Shah, grade nine student at École McTavish, a lot of opportunities.
“A big part of the Ministers Youth Council is me being able to implement my ideas and teaching kids or even adults, to be an entrepreneur or how to innovate, is what I’m focusing towards,” said Shah. “Then things like ECO Yolo where I could be an active citizen in my community and I can make these environmentally responsible things where students can be engaged and things like science fair where I try to make my own things to better society.
Shah and Christopherson will meet in Edmonton three times with 31 other students from across the province and with Education Minister, David Eggen for leadership conferences.
